I am getting a new system. I have 4 OE Identities in a single computer administrator
account, none password protected. I would like to move all of the Identities, their mail
and settings to the new system. I have tried the utility Outlook Express Quick Backup,
but it brought up around six error messages about not being able to access certain files.
(YES, OE WAS CLOSED WHEN I RAN THE UTILITY) A backup was created when I closed those
error message windows. When I looked in the 4 created folders, all of the .dbx files and
some .reg files were there. But, with all of those error messages, I would not feel
comfortable using the utility to restore to the new system and possibly screw up OE. Can
anyone recommend another utility that will do what I want. I am tech oriented, and could
do it manually. But, having a utility do it all, including account settings (server info,
login, etc.) for the 4 Identities would save much time. Also: The original system is
Windows XP HE SP1a, and the new system will be Windows XP HE SP2.

You can do it manually, I often do.

Although help is appreciated, please fully read a post before responding. I wrote that I
am capable of doing it manually. If it was one Identity, I would do it manually. But a
decent utility that does it all, is preferable for four Identities.

What exactly were the error messages you got with OEQB? It doesn't really
help to hear there were errors when you don't say what the errors were.
